Tips:
Avocado oil can be found in gourmet
food stores such as Whole Foods or on the Internet. It is a monosaturated
fat, (like olive oil), and rich in vitamins A, D, E, lecithin and potassium.
Make an effort to find it. It makes a very tasty dressing. If not, substitute
olive oil.
To drizzle in the oil with one hand and whisk with the other, wrap a wet
dishtowel around the bowl. It will hold it in place while both your hands
are busy.Always heat your skillet first before
adding the oil.
Shrimp are identified by the number
of them in a pound. Thus, 15/lb shrimp means there are 15 to a pound.
The lower the number the larger the shrimp but you can use any size for
this recipe.
